I found some for £60 with tyres, but the guy stopped the replying to my emails, so of course i wasnt going to send the payment. Then he scrapped them coz I didnt send the payment!! :@
That is gutting mate! Really good price with tyres too, some people are just idiots when it comes to selling things

Cheers again for the wheels John, yeah they don't half change it don't they! I decided just to get all 4 tyres changed at once whilst they were on an introductory price - there are different weights on one wheel, but it still balanced up alright.
Only had a short journey so far - so can't report back on how they feel on the car yet
Thanks again.
Matt.

Hahaha you lot are all mad - I reckon we could make some near brochure shots between my car and Evoman's
If it wasn't for the distance I would be up for a photoshoot too! If we had Matt's GLT as well then we could have red, silver and blue - nearly red white and blue?

Agreed! We could make a timeline of the earliest to the latest cars... Metro Owners Club did that at their last meet, it was quite interesting!
Out of interest when is the next V3M meet?
